CMF Doors currently has zero content marketing presence -- no blog, no LinkedIn company page, and no published thought leadership. This 6-month content strategy transforms that gap into a competitive advantage by positioning Norm Schwenker's 40+ years of AHC expertise and CMF's full-service capabilities as the go-to resource for hotel door procurement in Niagara and beyond.
Facilities directors, property managers, and hotel owners in the Niagara Falls tourism corridor seeking door supply, installation, and maintenance partners
General contractors, architects, and specifiers working on commercial and hospitality projects across the Niagara Region who need AHC-level specification writing
Commercial building owners, property management companies, and facility managers requiring fire door inspections, AAADM compliance, and ongoing maintenance
Five strategic content pillars map to CMF Doors' core competencies and the information hotel buyers actively search for during the procurement cycle.
A multi-channel approach builds CMF Doors' content presence from scratch, prioritizing channels with the highest B2B reach for commercial door procurement.
Launch a blog on cmfdoors.com with 2 articles per month. SEO-optimized for "commercial doors St Catharines," "fire rated doors Niagara," "AAADM inspection Ontario," and "hotel door supplier Ontario." Gated specification guides for lead capture.
Create CMF Doors company page. Post 3x/week. Thought leadership from Norm (40+ years AHC experience). Connect with architects, contractors, hotel procurement, and property managers across Niagara and Ontario.
Monthly email to client and prospect lists. Fire door inspection reminders, code updates, new product announcements, and seasonal maintenance tips. Personalized by building type (hotel, commercial, institutional).
Quarterly pitched articles to Ontario construction and hospitality publications. Bylined thought leadership from Norm Schwenker on fire safety compliance, automatic door standards, and commercial door procurement best practices.
Upgrade existing Instagram (~21 posts, ~150 followers) with professional project photography, behind-the-scenes metal shop content, team spotlights, and before/after installations. Cross-promote blog content and link to full articles.
Week-by-week content assignments across all channels for the first 8 weeks of CMF Doors' content strategy launch.
